Billionaires are holding 8.5 Trillion dollars. The coli told me these businesses can't afford to pay employees a living wage.

But all those bootlickers in my Minimum Wage thread told me poor employers are barely making ends meet and you have to tip your waitress or she's going to die.

I don’t agree with this

They need to implement Bernie/Warren's transaction tax for stocks. Taxing your stocks because they went up in price is bad.

We're going to see a trillionaire soon and that's crazy.

Think about that: billionaires will x1000 their incomes to reach trillionaire status.

Meanwhile average American salary going to be ~$70k after them all-to-generous 5% raises.
A nice little boost from the current $60k/year they're making.
Somebody making $100k/year thinking they're sitting at the same table as equals to the rich

If you make $100k/year realize it'll take you 10,000 years to make $1 Billion, without you spending a dime. Pure saving.
Now consider the richest person in the 2000's had about $50 Billion => now they have $210 billion in 2023.

So how many years making $100k will you have to save to get there?
By the way, they'll most likely make billions of dollars more next year.

Yet people think 40% tax is going to hurt these moguls' lifestyles and will defend them from getting taxed more

People really don't got much sense of scale. Yet try to talk logic and numbers.

These moguls aren't "high earners", they are the dang economy. Tax them.

Perfect liquidation of 8.5 Trillion and then perfectly spread among 162M working people in the US= ~52,500 a person.

And then back to square 1 the next year.

I'll take the money, but the something's wrong with the system.

Unfortunately you won't be able to convince someone that leans conservative because they think it will be them some day.

a person has a better chance of becoming a billionaire than billionaires giving living wages.

That 8.5 trillion is what they yearly carry.


Conceivably you could take it ALL every single year



Or they could give a moderate percentage to bump wages..... The only thing wrong with the system is that they have been hoarding this yearly total since Reagan was in office.
